- The ADB extended does not conform to Apple's low power desktop bus specs, and
- does not have the little symbol on the bottom (almost-closed circle) that
- indicates it is safe.

- Ah, but the ISO Extended (S-shaped) does indeed have the low-power
- symbol on it. Too bad it's only made for foreign layouts :-)

- I have two models of ADB extended, two of ADB non-extended, and none of them
- have the low-power desktop bus symbol on the bottom. My conclusion is that it
- is not recommended to plug any Apple keyboard into your PB.
